quickie thrifting

Yesterday I made a quick run to the thrift store.  The stock was low, but I was lucky enough to find some goodies.

2 pieces of fabric + 4 sheets + 4 pillowcases = $10, not bad.

These are my favorites.  The coloring is off in the photo, but I think you get the idea.  I would have taken a better picture using daylight, but they were still in the wash.   Isn't that one in the middle fabulous?  As usual, I have no plans for these, but they sure are pretty to look at!

Hey! I just found your blog today, and glad I did! So cute! I love the lil pouch. I think I got some identical fabric at the thrift store, or maybe it was a sheet that I used as fabric. Anyhoo... off to browse, stop by sometime!

You must have the most amazing thrift shops near you. The one in the middle is sooooo fab! I like the one on the left a lot too.

Oh I love the colors! Way to go on the thrifting trip. :)

I'd say that's a whole lotta fabric for $10. The green, blue and white daisies are my favorite.

Ohhh, love them all :D I found some great things this week too :D Saving them to post on Thursday though. Lovely lovely lovely :D

I think I have the same pillowcase! The one with the daisies... I cut into it to make the lining for a bag for bag month at sew mama sew.(I never finished it) I'm still trying to figure out what to make with the leftovers. It's pretty funky

I love the yellow with blue roses. I have a sheet/pillow case obsession...I find them at the thrift stores but they aren't in the best shape. I have yet to figure out what to make with them, I like the way they look stacked! Actually, one pretty pillowcase was falling apart & I did use part of it for a stuffed animal - oh, it is soooosoft, too.

Wow! You get such great thrift fabric finds. I love the ones you picked as your faves, too. Great choice!

My mom and I usually try to hit the thrift store at least once a week. I got tons of fabric last week. It is so fun to find it for SO CHEAP!!! I love the great fabric you found. I have no doubt you'll make something amazing from each of them. Be sure to share on your blog!

[Kristy]

I love the one on the right.I have a thing for blue roses!

[capello]

[Teresa]

What a great find. Love the colors. Be sure to share your projects with all of us.

I have the one with the daisies! Can't figure out what I want to do with it, so for now I use it as a tablecover in the yard.

[lera]

The middle one IS fabulous!!!

[kirsten]

wow - nice haul! very jealous, our shops have been low on cool linens!

[jessi]

I love the Mums too - I have been striking out at the thrift store lately. I still find plenty to buy, LOL, but I'm not really considering them treasures.

[Amy]

ooh, great haul!

[Robyn]

the green blue and white flowers are wonderful!

[sarahk]

Wow, great stuff! I never do that well when I go thrifting!

[Monica Yvette]

Great finds! Those colors are so inspirational.

[Jen]

Heck, yeah, the one in the middle is fabulous! What's the big, plain brownish one on the bottom of the other stack? Wool? Linen? Burlap?

[Sarah]

I just love thrifted sheets! You're right, the middle one is fabulous. And I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one buying them willy-nilly with nere a project in sight.

[Anina]

Great find. I'm trying to stay away from the thrift store, since my pile of fabric is so large that I can not possibly add to it until I reduce it with some sewing.

[Stefani]

YUM!!! My fave is definitely the one in the middle too. Do you know that I have a big shelf full of thrifted sheets and no plans for any of them. I can't help it, they are so soft and pretty and wonderful! Congrats!

[Melissa]

I always look at pictures before I read the text and I have to say that the middle one was my fav too! What fun finds! I never have plans for my fabric either- maybe that's why my stash is outta control!

[heidi]

i really love the yellow and blue one as well!! way to thrift!

[erin s]

Fantastic finds Beki. I love the nice bright colours!

[Toni]

I'm so jealous of that vintage fabric! The thrift stores around here have been dried up in that department. Have fun with it!

[Chara Michele]

Lovely! I wish my thrift stores had that kind of selection...
What is that fabric on the very bottom of the stack?
